Refine Gu to become immortal from one person

Chapter 541 Doubt

Hexi, Zhao Jun camp.

Li Mu is receiving Zhao Cong who came to convey the will of King Zhao.

This general who was born in the imperial family was ordinary, but his demeanor at this time was quite arrogant.

After reading out the decree, he directly spread his hands: "General Li, hand over the military talisman."

This remark aroused the dissatisfaction of many generals in the big tent, especially Li Mu's deputy Sima Shang's attitude was the most intense.

If Li Mu hadn't stopped him, he would have even taken a step forward to teach this ignorant guy a lesson.

"General, no!"

The generals under Li Mu's command had followed him for a long time, from northern Xinjiang to Hexi, so naturally they didn't want Li Mu's military power to be deprived.

After all, the soldiers on the front line know best, whoever follows them can make meritorious service and win battles, and whoever follows them will lose their lives.

There is no doubt that compared with Li Mu, Zhao Cong is the latter.

No one is willing to hand over their wealth and life to such a person who is worthless except for his birth.

But, still that sentence.

As one of the four famous generals, Li Mu is neither Wang Jian nor Lian Po.

Wang Jian's political wisdom is extremely high, and he knows how to defile and protect himself; Lian Po will just leave when he is treated unfairly.

But Li Mu is different.

Although he was not the almost foolish and loyal person like Yue Fei later, he still maintained a considerable degree of respect for the royal power.

That's right, Li Mu at this moment... hesitated.

It's not because of reluctance to bear military power.

Rather, he is very aware of the current situation of the coalition forces. If his military power is handed over like this, then the alliance will be completely over.

He still knew what Zhao Cong was capable of. Facing Wang Jian, it would be a fluke to escape with his life alone, and he didn't expect anything else.

If he had been deprived of his military power in normal times, Li Mu would have recognized it with a high probability, but now, once Zhao Jun changes generals, it will trigger a series of chain reactions, and the consequences will be disastrous.

"General Zhao, although I am a general of the Zhao Kingdom, I am currently in the Allied Forces, and all military affairs are under the command of the commander-in-chief."

Li Mu thought for a while, and found an excuse, "Therefore, we need to report to Lord Xinling before we can make a decision."

"you!"

Zhao Cong heard the words and said angrily, "You are the general of my country of Zhao, and your soldiers are also soldiers of my country of Zhao. Do we need to listen to a Wei person about how we should arrange it?"

I have to say that although Zhao Cong doesn't have the ability to lead troops to fight, he has a quick mind.

His words were trying to provoke Li Mu, including the relationship between other generals present and Lord Xinling.

The Three Kingdoms of Han, Wei and Zhao belonged to the same country more than a hundred years ago.After the three Jins were divided, although the customs and habits were almost the same, and they often allyed, but the position of the boss of the three Jins was valued by Wei Guo and Zhao Guo, except for South Korea, which was really weak.

Even they never had the idea of ​​reintegrating Sanjin.

In the early days of the Warring States Period, the Wei State was the most powerful, and Wei Wuqiang's troops conquered the east and west, and he could be called a hegemon.

However, after the Battle of Maling, the Wei military pawns who had once shocked the world were destroyed, and the momentum of Wei State was greatly reduced. It happened that Zhao State was strong and powerful under the governance of King Zhao Wuling, and took over the seat of the leader of the Three Jin Dynasties.

Then, in the Battle of Changping, Zhao Guo's backbone was discounted, and the rising trend was interrupted.Then Wei Guo came out with another Lord Xinling. Although everyone was much weaker than before, Wei Guo also regained the leadership of the Three Jin Dynasties from Zhao Guo.

This kind of scrambling is not visible on the surface, but the senior leaders of Zhao and Wei also know that everyone is not a harmonious and happy family relationship, but a fierce competition.

So as soon as Zhao Cong's words came out, some people's sensitive nerves were stirred up.

But Li Mu was unmoved: "It has nothing to do with Zhao Guo and Wei Guo. The movement of the coalition forces naturally requires the commander-in-chief's consent. This is military law!"

Since Li Mu had spoken, naturally there was no voice of opposition in the army.

His prestige is so high.

"Okay! Good job, Li Mu!"

Zhao Cong stretched out his finger angrily, "I think you are no longer a general of Zhao State, but a member of Wei State?!"

"presumptuous!"

As Li Mu's lieutenant general, Sima Shang is also his most loyal supporter, how can he tolerate someone pointing at Li Mu and yelling at him?He slapped Zhao Cong with a "hula" and almost broke Zhao Cong's forearm.

"Ah—Sima Shang, how dare you offend me? Someone, let me take him down!"

Zhao Cong hugged his arms and shouted angrily while screaming in pain.

"Come here! General Zhao accidentally injured his arm, help him down for treatment."

Li Mu ignored Zhao Cong's howling, and directly asked someone to take him down forcibly.

After Zhao Cong left, Li Mu also dismissed most of the gathered generals, leaving only his deputy, Sima Shang.

"You were too impulsive just now."

Li Mu frowned, "Even if I hand over the military power, I can feel more at ease if you accompany Zhao Cong to raise some points..."

"General!"

Sima Shang didn't care at all, "If you don't lead the army, then I won't do it either. What's the use of following that idiot? Are you going to die?"

"Ugh……"

Li Mu sighed deeply, why didn't he know that Zhao Cong was just an idiot?

But there is no way, he is just a general, even if he escaped this time by virtue of Lord Xinling's prestige, as long as King Zhao has his mind, the military power will still be handed over sooner or later.

At this time, another messenger came to report from outside the tent.

"General, there is an envoy from Lord Xinling asking to see you."

"Please!"

Following the guards came in were a burly man and a man in fine clothes.

The big man bowed his hands to Li Mu: "General Li Mu, this is a letter from your majesty. There is also this one, you should be familiar with it, right?"

Li Mu took the letter, opened it and looked up: "Young Master!"

The eldest son is the eldest son of Zhao Wangyan, Zhao Jia.He was once established as the prince, but later Zhao Wangyan abolished Zhao Jia and changed his son Zhao Qian to be the prince because he loved the empress too much.

From then on, Zhao Jia's situation in Zhao State became very difficult, and Li Mu didn't have much contact with him.

Seeing it in the military camp at this time, it was still sent by Lord Xinling, which made Li Mu puzzled for a while.

"General Li, let's read the letter first. Your Majesty's intentions are explained in the letter."

The big man seemed to see Li Mu's doubts, pointed to the torn letter and said.

"Okay, those two please sit down first."

Li Mu asked Sima Shang to entertain the two on his behalf, while he himself began to read the letter full of doubts.

After a while, he didn't know what he saw, Li Mu's whole body trembled suddenly, and his sharp eyes shot at Zhao Jia and the envoy of Lord Xinling beside him.

"Is this really what Lord Xinling meant?"

Li Mu's tone was cold, and he pointed to the letter and said, "Although I don't have much contact with Lord Xinling, I know a little bit about him. King Xiao Cheng once said, 'Since ancient times, no sage has ever reached the level of a son'. How could such words come from his mouth? ?!"

　Thank you LL for the reward!
